Hello everybody, welcome back to another episode of The Casual Criminalist. I am your casual criminalist and what I do here is I read a script from Matt. Thank you so much, Matt, about Silver Screen to Reality, the real-life Screen killers. Dude, a friend of my... The Screen movies, right, the ones with a scary mask. I remember being, I went around to my mate's house, it must have been like 13, 14, and scream was an 18 movie. Side note, the first 18 movie I saw was Starship Troopers. I was like,

scream and he didn't tell me he had a scream mask. And I'm just like having a slash before

0:36.4

going to bed and he's just like standing outside there

0:39.9

Screen 3 had been released and a teenage girl was simply minding her own business one night,
